Let’s get organized on guns
Howard Safir, NYC’s 1996 to 2000 police commissioner:
“Our system lists 350 million guns in the USA. The major cause of death for children. We need to deal with mass shootings BEFOREHAND.”
“Red flags exist. Nashville’s shooter had a history of mental issues. Yet each state has a different Red Flag Law if they have one at all. Health providers are not required to notify police when anyone exhibits violent tendencies. Nashville had no information or Red Flag Law!”
“Police need to be notified when someone exhibits such proclivity.
“Notification goes to a secure database and can be provided to gun dealers like the airlines’ No Fly list that shows in a background check. Remember: That Nashville shooter purchased her guns ‘legally.’
“Many shooters post intentions on social media beforehand. Companies already have algorithms that identify objectionable posts. Why not the same for a potential mass shooter?”
“We need background checks and a return to assertive policing. Criminals no longer fear police. Insane no bail laws put them and their guns back on the street.”
Make a choice, by George
Capitol Hill has begun loudly bitching about Long Island’s newly elected forked-tongue Congressman George Santos — may his tripe decrease — the human Pinocchio who’s currently repping citizens of our great country.
Santos — who lies his pantos off — is under federal, NY state and Nassau County criminal investigations.
But Republicans in Congress don’t care to wait.
They want smelly George Santos OUT! NOW! Like yesterday.
In the House, lots of noise is coming from newbies who are getting blamed by big-time donors for keeping him in Congress.
And for accepting him. Protecting him.
They have just told Speaker Kevin McCarthy it’s either Santos — or Them.
McCarthy may have to choose.
Spring-cleaning
YOU won’t believe this. But believe this. Great Neck, LI, has a car wash place with the sign: “Passover Special.”
So if you don’t want to swab your two-year-old BMW with damp matzos, try them. True. This is true. Absolutely true.
And lest you dare accuse me of fibbing — may your hair turn gray. And mine, too — again.
It’s just a name
Mark Levine beat West Virginia’s Bradley Madison Hoylman for Manhattan Boro President. Then Hoylman married David Sigal in a temple, dropped the Madison, changed his name to Brad Hoylman-Sigal which made him unbeatable in his West Side political race. He now chairs the Dem’s Senate judiciary committee. I know this comes under the heading of “Who cares?” — but what good is my knowing something if nobody knows I know it?
NO laughing matter. UCLA says 65 species — cows, foxes, seals, mongeese, some bird types and even dogs — laugh. Also, they say, rats. This surprised scientists. So although we applaud Manhattan’s newest garbage collection manifesto, let’s don’t get nervous if NYC’s newest resident — the rat — is laughing at us.
Oy, only in New York, kids, only in New York.
